On Friday’s Show Maire was joined by Caroline Browne of the Irish Wheelchair Association – Clare Branch and Tomas MacChonmara of Cuimhneamh an Chlair on the Friday panel. They discussed how Clare and Yunnan Province in China could become twinned and the positive knock on effects of the link. Also how the future of history as a junior cert subject made news this week. The panel discussed the importance of knowing our country’s history for learning from mistakes made in the past and how it’s important for future generations. Also for discussion was the concept of role models and who we should look to for inspiration.
Tess Purcell, our resident Stylist joined the show for a look at what’s coming on trend for this season and also as we head into a new season what we can salvage from our wardrobes.
